STRANGER, TEXAS,

DIRANGER, IEAAS. [
August %, 1887. I
To the Editor of the Standard:
The normalites Of jackson County
may be interested to know that the
Commencement at Lebanon, August
II, Is and 19, was one Of the most in
teresting and successful in the history
Of the institution. The Scientific
graduates number seventy-six, the
classic nineteen, civil engineers six,
and those taking the newly y-ereated
degree Of Instructors in Science were
nine. Jackson County was represent
ed by J H. Rowland, who IS now Su-
perintendent of The schools at BIan-
chester, Ohio, but whom Jackson
County still claims.
Among the prominent orators at
the Commencement were Mayor
Smith, of Cincinnati, and Governor
Foraker, both of whom delivered ad-
dresses. Mayor Smith in his address
to the graduates uttered some very
earnest and sensible appeals for unity
and harmony among the various sec
tions Of our country He referred
very pleasantly to the boys from Tex
as, and in addressing them said: II
believe that If in your hearts there is
a lingering respect for the Stars and
Bars, it is blended within your love
for the Stars and Stripes
Gov. Foraker paid a high compli-
ment to the graduates from Lebanon.
He said that wherever he met them
he found them rejecting credit upon
the institution, their friends and upon
themselves. The Governor happened
to be present during the Grafton of
Mr.. Clinton Wolcott, of Lebanon, the
youngest member Of the Classic class,
a boy in his teens His theme was
Alexander Hamilton, and for depth Of
thought, beauty Of expression and
force of delivery, it was certainly sell
dom excelled. When he took his seat,
the Governor paid him the honor Of a
personal congratulation, and being
called upon to follow with an address,
he paid the young orator some very
fine compliments. He said that he
had made especial study of the char
acter of Hamilton, that he had read
and heard many eulogies upon, him,
but that he had never heard one from
any source that excelled the one just
given.
During the Governors stay a recep-
ton was given at DIR. Scott's, and the
majority of the students and visitors
of the school had the pleasure of TAX
ing Ohio's Chief Executive by the
hand.
Approaching the fact that your pa
per is crowded during campaign times,
[ shall postpone any Texas notes and
comments till a future date.

STANDARD: JACKSON, oHIo THURSDAY, sEPTE

We have had our attention called,
through communication received
from former candidate on the Dem
ocratic ticket, to the state Of harmony
existing in the Democratic party of
Jackson County. Our friends on the
other side have worried themselves in
to spasms over the disruption of the
Republican party in the county, now
the truth comes to light that the
Democrats are beginning to under
stand one another, and that there will
be some lively scratching among
Democratic voters. We cannot pub
lish this Communication from the
fact that it uses too strong personal
language for publication. Unless the
signs of the times fail, the Democrat
ic grave will be dug deeper this year
than for many wears.

From a copy of The Voice, the Par
ty Prohibition paper, we copy the
following, from a report Of State
Convention in Nebraska:
REV. G. F. Creighton D. D., Pastor
of St. Paul's M. E. Church of this
city, followed him, declaring that he
had bidden farewell to the Republican
party, since it had outraged public
sentiment and ignored the will of a
majority in its own ranks by repudiat-
ing in tie Legislature the solemn
pledge to submit the Amendment.
DR.. Creighton announced himself as a
Party Prohibitionist.

Said an old Democrat to us on last
Saturday. whenever the Grand Ar
my goes into politics it IS gone" We
admitted it. But the fact is, nobody
but Democrats are making any at
tempt to connect the Grand Army
with politics. Just why the Democ-
racy would love to place the Grand
Army before the County in the light
Of political machine, is easily under
stood when we consider the attitude
of Grover Cleveland toward the Solid
South and toward the Union Soldirr.
But the Democratic effort in this di-
rection will utterly fail.

Mr.. John P. Hamlin, Of Washing
ton City, foreman of the the jury
which tried Guiteau, explodes, rather
abruptly, the pretty story that "Guit-
eau's Curse" has blighted the lives OF
all connected with the trial. Hamlin
says but one has died, and he died of
consumption. One is in an asylum,
but not the result of the trial, and so
far from Hamlin being penniless, he
is doing good business and is enjoy
ing splendid health. So "Guiteau's s
Curse" amounted to about the same as
all his wild raving.
